'Good Friday' is a great festival of Christians. It usually falls between March 20th and April 23rd. This festival is observed to mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Good Friday is a religious holiday observed primarily by Christians commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. Initially it was called God's Friday. In the Eastern Orthodox Churches, it is known as the 'Great Friday'. On this day prayer and meditation take place at the Churches. Good Friday is observed as a day of fasting, mourning, sorrow and prayer.
